Chateau Aeroport-Mirabel, hotel in Quebec, Canada
Chateau Aeroport-Mirabel is a closed hotel in Mirabel, Quebec, Canada, located directly next to the former international airport terminal. The building once held over 300 rooms and suites arranged around a large indoor atrium with tall plants, a swimming pool, a heated whirlpool, and a glass elevator.
The hotel opened in December 1977 as a Canadian Pacific Hotels property, built to serve the new international airport that had opened a few years earlier. It closed in 2002 after the airport lost most of its passenger traffic, and the airport itself ended commercial service in 2004.
The hotel served travelers passing through what was once one of the largest airports in the world by land area, and its closure mirrors the story of the airport itself. Today the abandoned building draws visitors curious about forgotten places rather than guests looking for a room.
The building is closed and not open to visitors, with boarded-up windows and blocked entrances throughout the property. It can only be seen from the outside, and the former airport terminal sits right next to it.
The hotel was part of a broader vision to turn Mirabel into a major hub that would eventually replace Montreal-Trudeau for international flights, a plan that never came to pass. When that vision collapsed, the hotel lost its entire reason to exist almost overnight, leaving it frozen in time.
